Hi DJ. Its awesome to see the updates rolling out, I know you and your team have been busy.

This is very useful. I had a camerastart ControlCommand in my init script, and if the camera was already running, it would crash ARC (no errors in the debug log).

Now I have an IF statement to see if the camera is already running, and no more issues.

please dont foreget about the the virtual ports to match the digital ports

Sorry just downloaded ,, thought i had it ,, Thank you @DJ Sures for the update I have been waiting for this so i can continue and once again you come through!

Thanks again.

Hmm.... Actually, $IsCameraActive is only initialized once the camera has been started at least once. So if I have just opened the project, and haven't started the camera yet, I get an error in the log "Variable Not Defined $isCameraActive".

If I have started the camera at least once, then the IF statement to check if it is active or not works.

Also, you said:

Quote:

Can be configured to a custom variable name in the camera config dialog

I don't see anywhere to do that.

@Alan... Can you set it to 0 in an init logon script? That way you won't get variable not defined error...

I tried (actually, since the whole issue is I am trying to see if the camera is on or off, and 0 is off, I set it to 2 then had the IF statement looking for != 1) but I guess since the IF statement is also in the Init script, it is still seeing it as undefined. I guess I need to create another script, and call it with control command.

I'll figure it out....

Calling the script that checks to see if the camera after setting the IsCameraActive variable to 2 eliminates the undefined variable error, but if the camera is active, when the init script runs, it sets the variable to 2, and then the script causes the nasty error that sometimes crashes ARC when I run the ControlCommand to start the camera.

This is the error: 11/17/2014 6:07 PM - Camera Initialized: EZB://192.168.1.105 @ 320x240 11/17/2014 6:07 PM - Camera Initialized: EZB://192.168.1.105 @ 320x240 11/17/2014 6:07 PM - EZ-B v4 Camera Error: System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: A blocking operation was interrupted by a call to WSACancelBlockingCall. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A blocking operation was interrupted by a call to WSACancelBlockingCall at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Receive(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags) at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) at EZ_B.EZBv4Video.() 11/17/2014 6:07 PM - Camera Disabled 11/17/2014 6:07 PM - Camera Disabled

Usually crashes ARC without the error getting written, but this last time it just threw the error without crashing.
